human perfection. There was a nobility about them, their eyes were larger and much more expressive and they
emanated a kind of radiance that gave me a sense of wonder." Orfeo said that he had the feeling while they
studied him that they knew every thought that passed in his mind: "I seemed to be in telepathic
communication with them, for thoughts, understandings, and new comprehensions flashed through my
consciousness that would have required hours of conversation to transmit."
If Angelucci's experience had taken place in 595 B.C., he too, would have been a prophet like Ezekiel. Instead
he is a Prophet of the New Age now dawning on Earth.
Considering the strange experience of Angelucci, we can interpret Ezekiel 1:25-28, as follows:
A voice came from the dome of the hovering Saucer. Then, Ezekiel says that above the dome "was the
likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone". Notice he doesn't say an actual throne, but "the
likeness of a throne". Later he says "the likeness as the appearance of a man". Therefore, the throne and the
man were not actually there--only their likeness. They were projected there, even as the man and woman were
projected between the two green discs observed by Orfeo. Then, Ezekiel tells us that he saw the "appearance
of fire", and that "it had brightness round about; as the appearance of the rainbow, so was the appearance of
the brightness round about". Ezekiel was seeing the aura of the space visitor speaking to him from some sort
of highly evolved television system. Where was this visitor? He is separate and distinct from the four living
creatures, or occupants of the Saucers. Possibly he was as far away as the planet Saturn as we shall see
presently.
The prophet says the throne appeared as "a sapphire stone". The ruby, or red corundum, is almost never called
sapphire, but all other gem varieties are, as white, green, purple, and yellow sapphire. Therefore, a "sapphire
stone" can be _green!_ Besides, the color sapphire blue is _greenish-blue_ in hue. Again this sounds very
similar to Orfeo Angelucci's experience. In Ezekiel 1:16, we read: "The appearance of the wheels and their
work was like unto the color of a beryl. "An emerald is a rich green variety of beryl; and the beryl is
commonly green or bluish-green--aquamarine and emerald are varieties. Again the green color!
The gem sapphire is usually the birthstone of April and Taurus. And Taurus is ruled by Venus. This gem has
been ascribed to Saturn, and to Venus. It was mentioned in Revelation as one of the foundations of the New
Jerusalem. Moses and Aaron saw the God of Israel with a paved work of sapphire under his feet.
"And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and
as it were the body of heaven in his clearness." (Exodus 24:10).
The Book of Revelation also speaks of a similar happening and that will be discussed a little later on.
One legend about Aaron's rod says that it was made of sapphire. Sapphires are used against the evil eye and
witchcraft of all kinds; the gem is said to exert good influence on its owners.
The beryl is designated the birthstone of October or Scorpio. Some Bible authorities claim it was one of the
stones in the High Priest's breastplate and one of the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem. It was
sometimes used to make _crystal balls!_ Saucers or Crystal Bells of Beryl, indeed!
It is possible, therefore, that one of the Saucers of the four came from Venus, representing the Constellation of
Taurus (Ox or Bull,), and the "voice of one that spake" could have been the voice of the Head (Kadar) of the
Universal Tribunal on Saturn.
Then in Ezekiel 1:28, we read: "This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I
saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake."
